11/28 : Whoa, I played high stakes tonight

I played a $220 turbo for the first time in a while. It was a scouted game and if I lost I had all night to play (for once). It was fun, and I won...but there was a ridiculously scary moment...I'll post it as my "Scary Hand of the Night". I started off the night playing simple $110's, and I was all set to win both of them when my AQ lost to AJ on a jack spiked river :-/. Luckily it just set me up to win more money tonight, because I played a 110 with my 220 and won that as well. Good, quick night. I'm happy, because I'm kind of tired from shooting a movie all morning and afternoon. It's about 20 degrees here in Orono, and we were filming outside for the most part, bleh. Anyways, here's some hands of the day.

Scary Hand of the Night:
PokerStars Game #13528839824: Tournament #68622960, $220+$10 Hold'em No Limit - Match Round I, Level III (25/50) - 2007/11/28 - 19:00:47 (ET)

This was a tragedy, and scared the crap out of me. Was I really going to lose the first 220 I've played in a long time...like this?

Noway, here's my Heroic Hand of the Day:
PokerStars Game #13528916922: Tournament #68622960, $220+$10 Hold'em No Limit - Match Round I, Level IV (50/100) - 2007/11/28 - 19:04:47 (ET)

Seat 2: 1Nookie1 (button) (small blind) showed [Th As] and lost with a pair of Tens

Summary: I had grinded him back down pretty well, then he started getting aggressive...so I called with 2's lol. It thankfully held up and made my night much more enjoyable. Honestly, if I had lost the hand...he was bad and I probably would've come back, but cheers to not having to.

Good Night -Max

Good hand. But it’s easier to understand visually:
